Thanks gentlemen and the fact that I had a Cat 1 for hearing upon entry for service is something I did not consider in my arguement
A couple of questions though...
sub0 temp service?
Is there a coorleation between sub 0 temps and hearing loss or tinnitus.
In the past 17 years I have attended several dozen field exercises below 0 in operational temps, as well as while on base patrols for 5 years can be pointed in the direction of data that would be a huge plus.
In my phase 1 of medical tests for my release due to not being able to meet universality of soldering I scored a level 3 hearing in my right ear along with tinnitus in both.
I was instructed to carry those documents to the Medical staff for phase 2 of my testing.
I photographed those documents as a good MPwould Veterans Affiars are to reveive those documents in direct question regarding the part 2 medical recording a level 2 which is a hearing gain.
I have also undergone a year ago a civilian audiologist exam at a local hospital which shows level 3 hearing and bilateral tinnitus.
Would it be benificial to try and locate acoustic trama evidence in the way of studies involving military equipment, sirens, M16, light and heavy machine gun, jet engine thresholds
Is this something this site would readily have?
I already have supportive studies of Military Police and hearing loss tinnitus around the world as well as NYPD issues with officers being released from duty for hearing loss as a result of traffic, horns, sirens, radio headsets, squelch, K9 barking life fire ranges.
I jsut need to button this up as tight as possible.
My unit Captain always came to me for charge report writing and research because I was pretty much the only person who knew where to research the information.
Now I'm the one stumped.
